This scan of the beautifully illustrated edition of the Grimm’s Fairy Tales is based on the famous Hunt version, with an introduction by the highly esteemed folklorist Andrew Lang. Considered by many to be the most accurate English translation, the tales in this handsome edition are at once harmonious with Dutch artist Rie Cramer’s colorful depictions of our favorite fairy tale characters. This volume is for boys and girls and mothers and fathers too, as all will delight in the beautiful old folk-fictons, which have come to us from ancient days, and that continue to impart their deep, but simple ethical truths. The illustrations are by the well-kniown Dutch artist, Rie Cramer. Some of Cramer's other fairy tale pictures published in England, are said by admiring critics there, to be very charming, of exceptional merit, and to have high artistic merit of their own.

She opened the Library's Training School in 1900 and was director of the School and the Children's Department until 1911. She emphasized in her practice that public libraries have an educational role to play in the lives of children. She used the library and training school to test new ideas about innovative practice. She would then publish her observations in the professional literature so that the whole country could benefit from her experiences. The graduates of the training school also helped spread her ideas on best practice throughout the country. In 1911, she retired from the library profession so that she could devote herself to her writing.
